Chapter 13: The Ship Is Built (42/109)
Benjamin knew this, but Benjamin didn't have any happy thoughts.
He spent so much effort to build a ship this time, in addition to dealing with the situation between the north and the south, he must have his own selfish motives.
He had begun to catch up with his great-grandfather's fame in electricity, optics and mathematics, but it wasn't enough, and no matter how hard he tried, Benjamin Franklin's name weighed on him like a mountain.
He wants to have his own legend, even if he doesn't have Franklin's ability to press on coins, he has to have his own legend, and every time he says his name, the first reaction of others is that you are a relative of Franklin.
So he had to come up with something of his own.
And this time the ship was his chance, and he wouldn't allow other shipbuilders who were at or near the legendary level to sabotage it all.
Not even if it's like Ryuji.
Benjamin thought for a moment, and he adjusted Ryuji's mission.
"Mr. Sandru, you come here to help deal with this."
"Mr. Sandru, you may need your help here."
Under Benjamin's arrangement, Liuzhi's tasks are more and more numerous, and it seems that he is busy, and it seems that he is very important, but all the shipbuilders know that Benjamin is downplaying Liuji's existence.
If it is as before, when the ship was built, Ryuji can say which part of the ship was made by him.
But now it can't be done, all of Ryuji's efforts are scattered in all corners of the ship's interior, suppressed by Benjamin's influence, and no one can see that there is any trace of Ryuji left in it.
Ryuji also saw this, he was a little unhappy at first, but later found out that by doing so, he would have a deeper understanding of this kind of magic three-masted cover steamship, and at the same time, his experience in shipbuilding was constantly improving, so in the end he didn't mess around.
After all, if it goes well this time, Liu Zhi should be able to make his shipbuilding skill level close to level 8, and with the complete drawings and production methods, he can build another such magic transformation three-masted cover ship.
Therefore, Liu Zhi also suppressed a little idea in his heart and studied all kinds of shipbuilding knowledge very seriously.
As soon as Liu Zhi studied so seriously, his experience on his side rose rapidly again, only this time he was not as lucky as before, and he could jump directly from level 5 to level 7.
Because level 8 is a key point of the level, the experience consumed in level 7 and 8 is much more than all the previous experience combined.
Ryuji was there every day calculating the data of the day's experience.
Watching those experiences keep jumping up, makes Ryuji quite happy even if he is treated as a handyman.
In this way, it was assembled, painted, and reassembled, and step by step, and the three-masted steamship was finally slowly taking shape in front of everyone.
The ship is identical to the original Mayflower, and even the details on the bow portrait have not changed.
The only difference is that the sails of this ship are no longer white, and the sails in the middle of the three masts are printed with the Star-Spangled Banner of the Principality of the Bald Eagle, a Cyclops Banner with a tomahawk in his hand, and a Bald Eagle Banner with a bow and arrow in its talons.
However, Liu Zhi always felt that there seemed to be something missing, and if the boat in front of him was pulled out now, it would be absolutely no problem to say that it was extraordinary, and after it was released, there would definitely be several transcendent attributes.
But to say that this is a legendary ship, there is still something missing.
This may be the difference between the Legendary and the Transcendental.
Before reaching level 8, even if Ryuji found out about this, he didn't know what to do.
By this time, he had already discovered the gap between himself and Benjamin, and it was not a gap in the level of shipbuilding, but a gap in experience and imagination.
It seems that this guy named Benjamin, even if he is not Franklin's blood, can rely on his own brain to embark on the road to success.
Just as they were putting the last nail in the ship, Benjamin brought dozens of white strong men from outside the shipyard.
They were all the same size as the strong men that Liu Zhi had seen before, each of them more than two meters tall, and under the sunburned wheat-colored skin, there was a bronze-colored glow flowing.
Stopping what he was doing, the old shipbuilder looked at them with some envy.
"This is the bloodline of the Titans, even if it is only bronze-level, it is stronger than ordinary people in terms of strength and physique."
Liu Zhi asked with some curiosity, "How are these bloodlines passed down?" ”
"That's their innate strength, that's the way the bloodline inheritance in Europe is, just find an ordinary person and push your own inheritance up, the ancestor may be someone on Mount Olympus.
It's just that the spiritual imprisonment in Europe over the years has made them forget their origins, coupled with a large number of witch hunting operations, they have lost the best inheritance mother, so there are fewer and fewer existences that can activate the bloodline.
If it weren't for the rise of the Renaissance, which reminded people of the myths of those days, I don't know how long this bloodline inheritance would have been interrupted. ”
Ryuji turned his head to look at the old shipbuilder, and for the first time he felt that this old man didn't seem to be simple.
"Don't look at me like that, my name is Fulton, and Leonardo da Vinci is my teacher."
When Liu Zhi heard this, he sweated at the waterfall, what year has it be, Da Vinci has been dead for at least three hundred years.
The old shipbuilder seemed to see Liu Zhi's thoughts, and he said lightly, "I am three hundred and thirteen years old this year. ”
Liu Zhi was stunned on the spot, it was not that he didn't believe that someone could live for so long, but he was doubting the old shipbuilder in front of him, he was so old, how could he only look like level 6 or 7 in shipbuilding.
Then the old shipbuilder said quietly: "I used to be a painter and an inventor. ”
All right.
There is no need for Liu Zhi to ask anything, this old shipbuilder is not a professional shipbuilder, he just relied on hundreds of years of time, casually making some boats, to reach this level.
From this point, it proves that genius can't compare to the accumulation of time.
At this time, such a large boat was dragged outside by those strong men.
Benjamin was holding a strange scepter in his hand, which looked like a bracket, with a metal kite string wrapped around one end of the scepter, and a small bottle with a gold coin in it.
As soon as he saw this scepter, Ryuji thought of the legendary story of Franklin, who flew a kite on a rainy day to lure the thunder down.
This can't be the wreckage of the original kite.
Just when Ryuji was puzzled, Benjamin raised the scepter in his hand and said a word to the big ship.
